This is a bad idea for the reasons I stated above. The vote to kick would only promote cliques and non-communication with outsiders. I can't even say how many times last night a person was asked to move to make room for someone's friend or crew mate. In every single case the person who was asked just moved.
It's not just a matter of efficiency. Vote kicking, or just a kick button is certainly efficient, but it is contrary to the very nature and design of the game. It would change the player base for the worse, imo.
Besides, as others have stated, there are always Devs and CA's on to help with any problem. For example, last night there was a bit of some spamming in regional chat. Someone in our lobby mentioned that it was getting a little annoying. Keyvias just so happened to be in our lobby, so he asked for the spamming to stop.
How easy and beautiful is that.
Calico Jack:
so you have a ship and 3 trolls spawn in and kick you off - wacha gonna do?
James T. Kirk:
Vote to kick still doesn't solve the aspect of dealing with the kick-ie first.
I know most to all of us here would use vote to kick as a last-resort thing, but what of the other players?
The only way kicking could ever be implemented is if there was some way to make sure that there was an attempt to communicate first.
Also, new players. We don't want those willing to learn to be kicked only because the 3 new guys that jumped on ship before hand weren't.
Charon:
Do you guys remember those other threads about kick function implementation? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Noone came to my rescue when I needed some troll removed from my team yesterday. CAs couldn't kick him and Muse wasn't even online. Furthermore, people are not inclined to kick when the person they want moved or removed is friendly and communicative. Kicks are not your primary form of communication, they are there at the end of the line when all other manipulative tools have been exhausted. Then if kicking doesn't work, then a CA or Dev needs to step in.
